A defiant salon owner has vowed to fight an 'aggressive' trademark battle with beauty giant L'Oréal, which she claims forced her to close her shop.
Rebecca Dowdeswell, 49, has been locked in a legal dispute with the global cosmetics firm over her brand name 'nkd', which it claims is too similar to its own 'Naked' eyeshadow range.
The French-owned beauty conglomerate claims her waxing salon nkd, which launched a year before L'Oreal's Naked line, could cause 'consumer confusion'.
Rather than back down, the mother-of-two from Nottingham has vowed to 'stick it out' by launching a counterclaim and is now taking on the £233billion firm herself.
She said: 'I don't feel like I should have been put in this situation in the first place. People typically don't challenge them; I've stuck it out.'
